As the news of Taskin’s accident spread, locals and students blockaded the streets.

Police were still trying to convince the protesters to leave the streets when this report was filed at 5pm on Friday.

Taskin’s death follows another accident, caused by reckless driving, in which A Suprovat Paribahan bus ran over Bangladesh University of Professionals (BUP) student Abrar Ahmed Chowdhury in front of Jamuna Future Park in Kuril, Dhaka on March 19, killing him on the spot.
